Jim Lewis was a 38 year old frican American male. He was interviewed on Highway 90, 16 miles south of Mobile, Alabama on November 4, 1938. He was interviewed by the writer, Helen S. Hartley. In the interview, Jim talks about where he lives, his family, and his families good health. It was hard to understand what Jim was saying because he says things in a southern accent.
